Any of the above will do.
Special background reflectors (45 degree) are ideal because they take up far less space than anything else and also need much less studio width, because softboxes etc need a wider studio to be out of shot.
A normal reflector can be used as long as the light distribution is even, usually it isn't.
The same goes for barn doors - useful for stopping light from making its way back to the subject, but they don't do anything that a black flag can't do better.
The name of the game is to get the background illumination as even as possible, so whatever tool you use, place it at a height that doesn't require the flash head to be tilted and cross light the background.
